RE: ZMA201900002 Hollymead Town Center Area A-1 Proffer Amendment
Dear Mr. Caramanis,
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on May 28, 2019, by a vote of 7:0,
recommended denial of the above -noted petition for the reasons stated in the staff report, and for the
reasons noted by Mr. Dotson in the meeting regarding rough proportionality and the fact that transit service
is now provided to the area. The reasons for denial stated in the staff are provided below:
1. The applicant/owner signed the current proffer form agreeing that the conditions are voluntarily
proffered as part of the requested rezoning (ZMA 201200005) and acknowledged that the
conditions are reasonable.
2. There is sufficient nexus and rough proportionality between this proffer as written and any
reasonably expected condition or impact caused by this project
3. Approval of the alternative proposal for a reduction/elimination of cash proffers for
ZMA201600001, Hollymead Town Center Area A-2 would be inconsistent with previous Board
actions for similar requests to reduce approved cash proffers amounts offered to address impacts of
residential development.
4. The cash proffers offered by the applicant and accepted by the Board when the property was
originally rezoned, were consistent with the proffer policy at the time and were acknowledged as a
reasonable condition intended to address the impacts from the rezoning.
5. The alternative proposal would require additional ZMA applications to be submitted prior to any
action by the Commission or Board.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (434) 296-5832.
Sincerely,
David Benish,
Chief of Planning/Acting Director
